Android: Getting file name from camera?

This was resolved by implementing PictureCallback via a ImageCaptureCallback class, and Overriding the onPictureTaken where the file was being written via a file output stream. All you had to do was change the fileoutput stream to the filename you want.

    I ran into an issue with something that I am probably just overlooking.

    I want to take a picture from the surface preview of the camera, and save it to the sd_card. This works ALMOST perfect. I assigned it a file name, but it does not use the filename.

    This is what I have been trying to do :

    Button imagecapture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.imagecapture);
    imagecapture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {
            String filename = null;
            ImageCaptureCallback iccb = null;
    
            try {
                filename = timeStampFormat.format(new Date());
                ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                values.put(Media.TITLE, filename);
                values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, "Image capture by camera");
    
                Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
                iccb = new ImageCaptureCallback(getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri));
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
                Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), ex.getMessage(), ex);
            }
            camera.takePicture(mShutterCallback, mPictureCallbackRaw, iccb);
            com.froogloid.android.gspot.Park.imageFileName = filename;
        }
    });
    

    It won't use the filename (i.e. time/date stamp I ask it to.)
